Enrollment Limitations
Even though Chemeketa has an open door policy, college staff or faculty cannot guarantee that you will be admitted to a particular program.
Enrollment in a class or program may be restricted because of accreditation requirements, limited staff, space, or equipment. Many career and technical education programs have special admission requirements before students can be admitted into the program.
Please apply early for all programs, especially for career and technical education programs that limit enrollment or have special admission requirements (see Career Choices ).
If you have questions about program requirements, contact the academic department directly.
Dual Enrollment Programs
Chemeketa has partnered with four-year universities to provide dual enrollment and admission programs that ease the transition from community college to university. These programs offer students the opportunity to complete one application process for both Chemeketa and the university.
We offer programs with Oregon State University, Oregon Tech, Portland State University, and Western Oregon University. Once accepted to the program, other benefits include access to academic advising, library services, student housing, flexible scheduling for classes, free transcripts, and coordinated financial aid for eligible students. Admission to these programs is initiated at the 4-year partner school. More information is available at chemeketa.edu/programs-classes/degrees/ and click on the Dual Enrollment link.
Dropping or Withdrawing from Classes
503.399.5001
registrar@chemeketa.edu
Courses dropped by the deadline to receive a refund (generally the first two weeks of the term for full-term courses) will not result in a mark on your academic record. Your student account will be credited and you may receive a refund. See more information in the refunds policy section under “Money Matters.” Specific drop and withdrawal deadlines are listed in My Chemeketa under the course section details. Drop and withdrawal dates will vary for classes shorter than full term.
A “W” mark will appear on your student transcript for any class withdrawn after the refund deadline. Courses marked with a “W” are not reflected in grade point average (GPA) or total credits calculated. The last day to withdraw from classes without responsibility for a grade is typically at the end of the sixth week of each term for full-term courses.
If you decide to drop or withdraw from a course, you should do so online using your My Chemeketa account. If you are unable to drop or withdraw due to a hold on your account, please resolve the issue with the department that has placed your hold, you may view your holds in the “Account Holds” section of My Chemeketa.
If you stop attending your class(es) without following the drop or withdrawal procedures mentioned above, you are responsible for tuition and fees and the final grades you receive.
No Show Drop
If you cannot attend the first class session, you must contact your instructor and come to an agreement for your attendance. For online courses, you must participate (log in to the course) by Thursday of the first week of term.
If you do not contact your instructor, you will be dropped. If the College drops you, you will be notified through your student email account. Note: This may affect your eligibility for tuition assistance if you are a veteran, on financial aid, or sponsored by an agency.
Immunizations
The Oregon Health Authority requires students born on or after January 1, 1957, participating in practicum experiences in allied health, early childhood education and intercollegiate sports to show that they’ve been vaccinated against measles. If enrolling in health programs, you may also be required to be vaccinated for Hepatitis B, MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis), Varicella.
